Currently our dog thinks Mark looks and smells like a snack and also sounds like a chew toy 🤦

He is also a sighthound so I think he’d be triggered if we let mark run on the floor.

On too of that we know that we have some allergies to cats in the house so outlook is not great.

That said, were only helping out - no plans to get s car any time soon. But he really really is cute!😍

We’d consider if it wasn’t for our dog. But we’ll see how it goes 😂

The difference is that one of them wore it before it got labeled as a Hitler moustache and the other did it after

You keep saying this as if you’re the only one while live in a rural place. It seems like you do too but have no idea of what is going on in the fields around you. And this is the exact point of the comment. Fields look like nature but could as well be tarmac when it comes to biodiversity

Also it will probably fail with the first few tries and have you try different documents… Just to have as many copies of your personal ID as possible

It is the crops that kill diversity though. Baren fields may actually be better for wildlife

I live right next to two fields and in a village with 30 houses, surrounded by fields.

You just prove the point

Sounds like you think you know even more though?

Fields are made to only maintain life for what is grown on it. There is very little life there besides the plants. Biodiversity wise, they could as well be parking lots. They just look like nature, because, as you say, they are green.

Even that, takes nature away. Birds that naturally nest on flat ground, can’t breed there any more, because moderns crops grow faster than they can grow their chicks.

No - Fields are biodiversity deserts, and farmers want it like this. They look pretty and look like nature, but could as well be sand

Fields are just as dead as parking lots. Just prettier

When they combined all google services to one drive, including Photos and mail sharing the same 15gb, I decided to drop all google services

Never looked back.

Google feels like a service you can’t live without but honestly moving away from it works great for me

The only service that I still keep is Calendar as I need it to sync with my partners google calendar

I haven’t really tried to see if things work with an other service

Sounds like you are looking at the grass over the fence.

It’s always greener than on this side

Life demands efforts. It’s not like downloading and pressing play.

Its interesting that you find it hard to seek out the lifestyle that you want when that lifestyle will actually require a lot more effort just to survive

Why is he carrying a shield with the American flag?

It’s that just about the same as Jihad really?

Could have been the US

I don’t know. It’s an authorized profession over here, and prices are regulated by the government.

Just a small adjustment to his stiff neck issue that he picked up a few months ago

This hits hard…

I woke up early today (without an alarm) because I had to bring my dog to a chiropractor at noon.

So I had a cup of coffee and a pipe, watching the morning dew dry up

It’s one of 3 days off this week, and that’s only because I sacrificed one additional day off to fake an extra shift on Friday. It pays double though, because of union regulations, even though I’d have taken it for regular pay anyway.

The only difference is, that I don’t have friends to meet up with, mostly because I don’t want to, and that I’m not in a drinking mode yet, but sounds like I could pick that up at some point
